Thank you for the printer sound, Lin. So this is the final version of my style. PrintACube_Style.mp4 PrintACube.ptestyle

My version. Iwait a little before posting the style. May be I'll modified it. PrintACube.mp4

Great news !

A style is a comprehensive set of the parameters for all objects incuded in a view or a set of views, such as size, color or 3D animation. You can create your own style from a view and appliy it to others views. You can also use current styles included in PTE library or created by other users and loaded in your PTE library.

Good job, lin ! But I don't hear the cisors cutting the paper.

Hi Tom. This is my ultimate version. PrintAndFrame.ptestyle PrintAndFrame.mp4

Hello. When I manipulate complex objects, I have very often to toggle between "Opacity=0" and "Opacity=100%". To-day to obtain "Opacity=100%", we just double-click on the control, but to switch frome 100% to 0% we must right-click on the control and then choose 0%. It would be nice if at each double-click we toggle from 0% to 100%, or from 100% to 0%.

Good point, Jean-Cyprien ! I've improved my style using your suggestion. PrinterLandscape.ptestyle

Hello. I suggest this version. PrinterLandscape.ptestyle

Hi Barry. Could-we say that you would like something like: Right-clic "Copy to clipboard current view style" Right clic "Paste clipboard Style"

You're right, it is Alt F9.

Once Shadowplay is install on your computer, you don't need to run DeForce program to use it. To run ShadowPlay, you have just to hit Ctrl key + F9 and you can stop the recording with the same shortcut.

Hi Igor. May be I missed it, but I have no idea of the expected delivery date for v10, and what will be the major changes in this version. Could you please say something about it ?

Thanks Igor, it will be very usefull.

Exactly. On my Nikon DSL, in 4K mode, I have the choice betwin 24, 25 ou 30 fps. 50 and 60 fps are available only in HD mode. . Of course the actual frame rates are 23,976 and so on, but it is not the question. The problem comes with the alternative current, wich is 50 Hz in France, as in almost all Europe. If I dont want to meet flickering problems indoors, I must stay at 25 or 50 fps. If I use 24, 30 or 60 fps, I may have flickering issues and my clip would be ruined. This is why I decided to use only 25 fps in all situations, in order to be sure to never meet flickering problems. Nevertheless, I use also screen capture videos in my video projects, so I usually mix clips at 25 fps, 29,97 fps and 30 fps (from Nvidia Shadowplay) under Da Vinci Resolve and I never noticed any problem. I created dozzens of PTE projects which include video footages built at 25 fps and I never noticed any kind of problem when I run the exe file or when I generate a mp4 file from PTE, even at 60 fps.

If you film a cartwheel at 24 fps with the shutter at 1/48s or 1/50s everithing will be OK if you visualise the video at 24 fps. If you use a shutter speed of 1/125s or 1/250s the weel rotation may be jerky, accordind to the rotation speed of the wheel. Now if you film a cartwheel at 24 fps with the shutter at 1/48s or 1/50s, then convert it to 30 fps, the rotation of the wheel will look correct but slightly less fluid. Il you convert 24 fps to 60 fps, you will obtain the same fluidity than for 30 fps, or may be it will be more fluid depending of the conversion algorithms. But if you use a shutter speed of 1/250s, the conversion to 30 or 60 fps may create something realy jerky. This is that I call a visible drawback. To sumarise, if you follow the 180° rule (shutter speed must be half the frame rate), that is to say 1/50s for 24 fps, 1/60s for 30 fps, 1/125s for 60 fps, you will not have problems after conversion, even if you film a cartwheel or a drummer in a concert.

I use Davinci Resolve 15. It is one of the best professional tool for vidéos and movies. Davinci Resolve works as I described. You include in your media pool all the necessary clips, created with different frame rates and when you include one of these clips in the timeline, it is adjusted to the output settings of your project. When there is a slight difference in frame rate, like 29.97 instead of 30, there is no frame calculation, just a change of the duration of each frame, as I suggested you to do for PTE. If you sart from 24fps to go to 30 fps, some extra frames are added by duplication each 5 or 6 frames randomly, and in some cases, it is visible. Transforming 24 to 30 fps is not a good solution from a professionnal point of view, but transforming 29.97 to 30 fps has no impact, even on a professionnal point of view.

Yes I can ! Assume you generate à video at 29.97 fps with a duration of 10 minutes (600s). This represents 29;97*600=17982 frames You ask ffmpeg to transform this video to a video at 30fps without changing the frames. The new duration is 1782/30=599.4s. You lost 0.6 seconds on 10 minutes, that is to say nothing. The audio file will be automaticaly modified and reduced of 0.6s without chaging any sound. Doing that, you will obtain a video at 60fps, and if you need absolutely a duration of 600 seconds, you will have to add 18 blank frames at the begining or at the and of your clip. I presume you can perform this transformation under Premiere or Davinci Resolve, if you prefer.

I vote for number 2.

Please, Keep It Short and Simple. My suggestion is to limit the choice only to the following items: 24 25 30 50 60 Add a note to precise it is only Progressive and the exact values are 23.976, 29.97, etc. Add a second note stating that advanced users who want to use other parameters have to first generate the project and then convert the frame rate to any other value using ffmpeg, and give them a link to a help file countaining several examples of command lines.

Works fine on my PC;

Thank you Igor !
